    See that’s way too complicated for me :p I just look at the weeks fixture make up my mind by around Thursday lunch time then maybe make 1 or 2 changes to a team that the majority have gone against this week it was the DUGS (SORRY) as there is alway a chance for a upset. & then hope for the best :D.
    Last year I got in a right pickle with my REBELS picks when they were having running back troubles so I’m keeping it simple this year.

    Yeah, overthinking is honestly my Achilles heel when it comes to stuff like this. Sure, you can narrow down your picks with more certainty that way, but no matter how you consider all the different factors prior to a game - you can never account for the ebbs and flows during the match itself. Just look at the playoff game between this same match-up last season. A Saints victory, right? Nope. Minneapolis miracle.

    It's stuff like that that makes football so special to me, though.

    Especially if you're a Ravens fan and have to pick your team for the 3rd time in a row. Right, @Alamact? :D

    I actually think the Androids win this one. They will succeed where the smelly cheeseheads failed.

    It's the price of being in first place, to have their mettle tested week after week. ;)

    That'll show you to pick against my Lions!

    week 9

    B1's Vaders
    Sith
    Gungans
    Wattos
    Androids
    Hutts
    Mandalorians

    ...for now. I expect all of these to flip-flop throughout the week. There is not one single game that I feel confident about picking this week.

    I changed my Thursday pick. It all depended on the recovery of Beathard. Since their 4th string QB is playing instead, I am less optimistic they can win this farce.

    .... You would think so.

    Our second guessing has us off to a rough start.

    Guess that settles it: Oakland is the new Cleveland. Only by the grace of Hue Jackson are the Raiders not on pace to be 0-16.

    I'm happy for Mullens, though. I had a feeling something like that was going to happen, but I didn't want to chance it. Consider me on the Nick Mullens hype train.
